Yelich is the face of the franchise. He's not getting traded. Like I said, Brewers only entertain it for financial reasons but I agree its highly unlikely.

And to get him, we are subtracting value from our team to “balance it out” more effectively. No thanks. The idea of Eloy a headliner is more palatable when considering Yelich in the mix (which I agree is unlikely), that said, I believe the only way we add a high-quality starter for 2021 is through trade. Eloy is our best trade chit and Milwaukee has several attractive targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not realistic is to believe we will be better in 21 without improving our rotation. It could be we have internal candidates but most here believe we will need to go outside, either through FA or by trade. Gausman, Stroman and Bauer are unlikely. So the question becomes, who do we atrget and who are we prepared to trade? I'm guessing you must have a point of view as to what is realistic based on your post.

We aren’t trading Eloy or Vaughn or any of our controlled pieces for Yelich and Hader. The Brewers would ask for way more to offset the value of both of those guys and that’s not worth it. Realistically, I would like to see them spend the money in free agency or through a trade for maybe Lance Lynn or someone comparable.

chetkincaid Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'm bored. Trade Dunning, Cease, Kopech and Lopez for DeGrom. That could be 3/5 of the Mets starting pitching staff for years to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating for Hader but the notion that we can trade for a high rotation piece without trading any of our controlled assets seems unlikely.

We need Kopech to be a third alpha to have a legitimate WS rotation. DK makes a great playoff four and you go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
